A Guide to Wedding Monograms

Monograms are one of our favorite things at The Event Group. We love to recommend that the client personalize their wedding, and a monogram is one way to achieve this. They can be incorporated into any aspect of an event, from the napkins to the cuff links to the dance floor to the bride’s veil to the aisle runner – and everything in between. The options are literally limitless for where you can use a monogram.

To begin, here is a basic guide to the types of monograms you can use – remember that font matters when trying to set the tone for your embellishments!

Pre Wedding Monograms

Many brides use monogrammed gifts as the perfect way to personalize something for their bridesmaids. We love the custom hangers for their bridesmaids’ dresses or the silk robes embroidered with their monograms.

For the Ceremony

You can incorporate the groom into the monogram theme as well – with suspenders, shirt cuff or cuff links.

A veil is a perfect place to add monograms – even adding past wedding dates and monograms of family members.
